Imbali Safari Lodge

Imbali is one of three lodges and is sister to Hamilton’s Tented Camp and Hoyo Hoyo. All three of the lodges offer something special. Hamilton’s is very colonial. Hoyo Hoyo is African with its layout and Imbali has a more modern feel and set up. All reside on the same concession, so game viewing is good from any of the camps. Our stay at Imbali was a mid week break with really good weather, if not a tad chilly on the early morning game drives. The rooms are spacious enough and the beds are divine to sleep in being so comfy. The staff are very friendly and attentive and nothing is too big to do or a problem. Smiles all around. The food is plentiful and of a very high standard. You won’t go hungry or want for anything. Pile on those kilo’s and worry about the diet after your vacation. The game drives and the Rangers are fun, educational and worth every minute. The Rangers knowledge is so diverse and they answer all your questions without any hesitation. Note, the one game drive you don’t go on, is the one where you miss your favourite animal. Ursula is the GM and is always about should you need her. She is very approachable, friendly and loves to chat. She also runs a tight ship, which shows in the overall experience whichever of the lodges you stay in. We have been going to Hamilton’s and Co for over 10 years and have never been dissatisfied. Such a pleasure to go there.

Imbali management (Ursula) and staff made us feel like family from arrival to departure. The rooms are magnificent, well appointed with private plunge pool. Catering, can’t imagine anything better than what was served to us during our stay, even catered for my gluten intolerance without fault. Game ranger (Mark) excelled in tracking the big five with our two favourite sightings being the Mum & one week old baby. Then three leopard sightings, one high up in a tree then two more in nearby river beds. The amount of beautiful bird life was also a highlight for us. This was our 5th trip to Imbali and they continue to excel. Thank You IMBALI.

5⭐️'s seems totally inadequate for this absolutely first class safari lodge!! The most amazing, personable, welcoming & friendly staff, delicious food, exemplerary service, luxurious accommodation. Everything was perfect. The game drives were incredible, the animals seen coupled with my guide's extensive knowledge/ information about the bush etc was mind-blowing. Without doubt, the best holiday ever. Thank you Team Imbali and especially Jayden.

Beautiful lodge in quiet and quaint location in Kruger Park. We were met on arrival at the main reception area by wonderful staff who gave us rundown of what our all inclusive stay involved including times of safri drives etc. As it was my birthday our room was beautiful decorated for the occasion and had complimentary bottle wine and fresh fruit bowl. Bed was comfortable and room spacious and we had our own private pool. Bathroom had huge bath and walk in shower. The lodge was spotless, air conditioning, mosquito net and spray. Food was good with variety. 2 safri per day morning 6am and evening 4pm which were 3 hour and morning had coffee break nd afternoon refreshments as beer,wine, whisky etc. No TV which was ideal for peace nd quietness. Would definitely recommend 👌
